Morality, Ethics and Responsibility in Organization and Management
In the aftermath of the financial crisis, and regular corporate scandals, there has been a growing concern with the moral and ethical foundations of business. Often these concerns are limited to narrow accounts of governance codes, regulatory procedures or behaviour incentives, which are often characterized by neoliberal bias underpinned by western masculine logics. This book challenges these limited accounts of ethics and responsibility. It looks at the writing of Gayatri C. Spivak who takes globally networked markets, people and ideas and provides tools to rethink subjectivity, ethics and corporate governance. Eschewing strict hierarchical notions of authority and identity, Spivak’s work...
The Oxford Handbook of Process Philosophy and Organization Studies
Process approaches to organization studies focus on flow, activities, and evolution, understanding organizations and organizing as processes in the making. They stand in contrast to positivist approaches that see organizations and phenomena as fixed, static, and measurable. Process approaches draw on a range of ideas and philosophies. The Handbook examines 34 philosophers and social theorists, both those commonly linked to process thinking, such as Whitehead, Bergson and James, and those that are not as often addressed from a process perspective such as Dilthey and Tarde. Each chapter addresses the background and context of this thinker, their work (with a focus on the processual elements), and the potential contribution to organization and management research. For students and scholars in the field of Organization Studies this book is an entry point into the work of philosophical thinkers and social theorists for whom the world is far from being a solid place.

With a solitary Indian Special Branch shadow as his only companion, Gif stubbornly ignores the advice and warnings of competing Indian and American investigators and eventually follows a trail that takes him to Karachi, Islamabad and Reston, Virginia. Gif uncovers two vital clues which he turns over to the FBI investigative team. A distracted Gifford eagerly withdraws from the hunt for the bomber and hurries back to Richmond only...
Aluminum Showers
When two giant airliners collide over Kansas City, aluminum and dead bodies shower the streets below. Controller Kyle Matthews insists that the two aircraft were two thousand feet apart just seconds before. But when the FBI plays back a tape recording, they can clearly hear him issuing a clearance that probably caused the collision. Complicating matters further is the fact that the Federal Aviation Administration already considers Kyle a rebel because of his outspoken views on overhauling the air traffi c control system. Even though Kyle's own private investigator fi nds signs of a bomb at the crash site, and additional evidence points to another suspect, the FBI and FAA are both ready to ru...
